Old-Fashioned Honey Baked Apples

My baked apple recipe is very old-fashioned yet tried and true. It's definitely a comfort food.

Ingreadient

• 2 medium tart apples
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 2/3 cup water
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Optional: Vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream

Direction

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Core apples, leaving bottoms intact; peel top third of each. Place in a greased 8x4-in. glass loaf pan; fill with cranberries.
2. In a small saucepan, combine water, brown sugar and honey; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Pour over apples.
3. Bake, uncovered, until apples are tender, 35-40 minutes, basting occasionally with juices. If desired, serve with ice cream.
